Sheriff J. Tyson Stephens welcomes you to the Emanuel County Sheriff's Office website. Sheriff Stephens and the Emanuel County Sheriff's Office--Your Partners Against Crime!

The sheriff’s patrol is the most visible part of the sheriff’s office. Patrol deputies are tasked with many duties. They are responsible for answering calls for emergency and non-emergency service.  Patrol deputies are the first line of defense in the fight against crime in Emanuel County.

When not answering calls, patrol deputies act as officers of the court by serving civil processes and criminal warrants. Deputies also provide security and support for the various court systems in Emanuel County.

The Emanuel County Sheriff’s Office has also become an active member of the South Central Traffic Enforcement Network, which is organized by the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety. The traffic network is designed to enhance traffic enforcement through networking, training and legislation. Deputies assigned to traffic enforcement within the county are assisted by agencies within the network and the Georgia State Patrol.
